Brahmi

Brahmi is used as a nerve tonic and an aid to learning. Brahmi contains chemicals that might enhance thinking and learning. There is some evidence to suggest that it might relax muscles in the blood vessels, airways, and the small intestine. It might also have activity as a tranquilizer and pain reliever.
